What is Somatostatin?
•  Somatostatin (SST) is a peptide hormone.
•  It stops NET hormone production and cell
division of NET cells.
•  The action of somatostatin occurs after it
adheres to the somatostatin receptors (SSTR)
on the cell membrane.
•  Very short-acting, with a 2-3 minute half-life.

A brief overview of 177Lu-
DOTATATE
•  177Lu-DOTATATE belongs to an innovative
drug category called PRRT (Peptide Receptor
Radionuclide Therapy). PRRT involves the
systemic administration of a specific
radiopharmaceutical to deliver cytotoxic
radiation to a tumor.
•  177Lu-DOTATATE is composed of a lutetium
radionuclide chelated to a peptide.
Lutetium emits high energy electrons
(therapy) and gamma rays (imaging).
•  The peptide is designed to target
somatostatin receptors with a high binding
affinity.
The affinity for SSTRs and the specificity of binding enables a high
level of specificity in the delivery of radiation to the tumor

with liver metastases of a NEN before and after the first and second cycle of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy
(PRRNT); relapse in the liver (after complete remission as shown by CT and PET) is first detected by SMS-receptor
imaging (molecular response precedes morphology).
